    The tires wasn't that expensive. Bought them at walmart for $70 a tire. Little over $300 for all the fixings.
    These are my second set of these tires and I like them.
    Back in 2007 when I bought my first set they were $57 a tire.
    Was going to go with Firestone Destinations A/T from the Firestone store but $600 was a bit more than I was willing to spend. Soo I give wally world another go. I saved $300 at walmart.
    NOT everyone likes walmart but They save me money so I do business there.

    yeah...I put the same tires on my 5lug 2006. Luv them! My truck now also matches the roadside speed signs. When I had factory wheels...the speed was also overstated on my speedometer by about 3 MPH. HOWEVER....I think now the odomter is off...at least I hope so. I hope the odometer was correct before..because it showed better MPG. So..I tested it on a several mile stretch of highway using mile markers. With the bigger tires it looks like I'm traveling 7 to 10% farther than the odomter shows.... That also is about what the tire chart shows would be the difference on the tire change. However..I always thought if the speedometer is right the odometer would be right...but I guess that is not always the case.

    Be careful when you pick out tires....I was perusing Tire Rack and noticed my O-Tires weigh 23lbs each. Replacement 235/75's weigh considerably more. A couple I was looking at were 31 & 38 lbs respectively. Seems to me additional tire weight would affect acceleration....:pccoffee: I'm going to go with the ratings and purchase lightest, highest rated tires for all season use. At least, that's my plan.;)

    I'm probably going to wait till September and get a few more miles out of the OEM's....although will post pics asap. My truck is Timberland Green so should be interesting. The only thing I'm not sure about is the change in gearing. My truck is a stick and the 3.31 gear is marginal at best so the tires will probably push it down to around 3.10. I feel it should be somewhere around 3.60-3.70 for truck use. This is going to cost me some bucks in the long run:facepalm:

    I'm convinced I could have gone with 30s but the 235/75r15s look perfect on the truck. Not to mention its the cheapest truck sized tire you can buy.
